Happy Mother’s Day everyone!
This year, I have enjoyed making a few cute Mother’s Day inspired amigurumi, and I thought I would share a free pattern to make this flower and vase with you. This would look really cute in a sheer gift bag and I have also designed a square card to go with it. I love that this pattern can be made in any colour you choose, and I can’t wait to see it made in a rainbow of colours!
Materials
• DK or 8ply yarn in yellow, pink, blue and green (optional)
• 3.5 crochet hook

Assembly
1. You will now have several options to create a stem. I used some metal wire and knotted green yarn around it, but green pipe cleaners would also look great. If you do not want to knot your yarn, you can also wrap yarn around a wire for the stem, securing it with glue.
2. Place your finished flower into its vase.
You are done!
You can also print the free Mother’s Day card to go with your little flower and vase. Let me know if you’d like to see more cards to go with crochet makes, as I’ve had lots of fun designing this one!
I hope that you have enjoyed this pattern, please let me know if you make it and don’t forget to tag your makes with #mothersdaycrochetflower
